It doesn't matter what supposed "sleight of hand" EA may use when detailing their subscriber base; without any actual evidence, we can only equally assume that all publicly traded companies are doing the same. Since the only real value of the figure is when used in comparison to the competition, whatever EA releases should be taken at face value, as should every publicly traded company.

they only count the asian subs that gave them money in the last 30 days even if it is a far lesser amount. also you are great exaggerating the estimated number of asian subs

Yes, because a store is getting rid of over stock is a clear indication that the game is failing.

Best Buy has done this with alot of games.

oohhhh I get it!

Because it's EA conspiracy theorists HAVE to believe that something is up and they are lying...because for some reason EA is hated. I still don't get that....

But when it comes to WoW and their 10 million then it's alright right and they aren't lying? Just stop with the conspiracy theories. I think the King of England is in my apple sitting on my bed so I don't touch him and do what he tells me. See how insane that sounds? lol

Even if this game started growing again with the updates coming out and them releasing numbers that proved it having 3 million or more in the future people still wouldn't believe it because they feel like they have to keep defending their hatred of EA for some reason...weird

So, you think you should have the right to bump the person who already has that name? What makes your character's name sacrosanct but the other player's disposable?

Stupid people will always assume that corporations are lying to their investors.
How do you measure the success of an MMO?

I actually laughed out loud, you are such a kidder. Pray tell, why is it "AWESOME" now, 1.3 has not even hit yet?
